Datastore Manager

The Datastore Manager is intended for advanced-level DHIS2 users. Before you use the Datastore Manager, you can read more about the Data store here: DHIS2 data store.

Using the Datastore Manager

The Datastore Manager lets you manage the content of the web API data stores. This is helpful when managing apps and external scripts.

Add a new namespace and key to the Datastore Manager

Note: You have to create a namespace before you can add a key to it.

  1. Click New.

  2. Enter a name for the namespace you want to create.

  3. Enter a key name, and select Create. The new namespace displays in the left pane.

Add a key to an existing namespace in the Datastore Manager

To add a new key to an existing namespace in the Datastore Manager,

  1. Select the namespace you want to add a key to.

  2. Click the options menu, and click New key.

  3. Enter a key name in the New key dialog box.

  4. Click Create. The new key is added to the namespace you selected.

Delete a namespace or key from the Datastore Manager

To delete a namespace, or key, click the Options menu, and then click Delete, and then Delete again. Note that if you delete the only key in a namespace, you will also delete the namespace it belongs to.

Search for namespaces or keys

Use the search tool in the top left corner to search for namespaces and keys as follows:

  • Enter a namespace name followed by # and the key name to search for a specific key in a namespace.

  • Enter # followed by the name of a key to search for keys only.

Search your JSON library

Use the search tool in the workspace toolbar to search your JSON library.

Edit namespaces or keys in the Datastore Manager

Use the Search tool to find namespaces or keys in your datastore. When you edit your content, you can toggle between the Tree view and the Code view. Use the Tree view to get an overview of the contents of the Datastore. Use the Code view to edit your code directly in the code editor. Remember to save your work by clicking the Save button.

In the Code view, you can edit your code. When you edit a line of code, it is highlighted in yellow.

Any errors are marked by the editor. If you hover over the error icon, you can view a short description of the error.
